use.perl friends feature fuxored ?

It would seem that the "Friends" feature has somehow gone wrong here. I use it lots to remember to check new journal entries out for people that I read regularly. Today I was surprised to discover that it reverted to the state that it was at least a month ago and half of the people I had listed have disappeared. Has something wrong happened to use.perl ?
